New Journal: Progress in Community Health Partnerships (PCHP)

The first issue of the new journal Progress in Community Health Partnerships (PCHP): Research, Education and Action (Spring 2007, Vol. 1.1) has just been released. Members of Community-Campus Partnerships for Health can subscribe to the journal at a 20% discount. Click here for details.

Its mission is to “facilitate dissemination of programs that use community partnerships to improve public health, to promote progress in the methods of research and education involving community health partnerships, and to stimulate action that will improve the health of people in communities.” For access to the inaugural issue on a sample basis see the journal homepage.

It has a number of interesting articles on potential directions for CBPR, case studies and community health centres (all American, but dealing with similar issue of serving disadvantaged populations, demonstrating cost effectiveness and quality improvement that Canadian CHCs face). It has one article on an Ontario CBPR project piloting and evaluating mental health services grounded in a cultural empowerment model. The editors of the new journal will be at the CCPH conference in Toronto in April.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We would like to acknowledge this sacred land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. It has been a site of human activity for 15,000 years. This land is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory.
